KONA 3 Installation and Operation Guide — Installing the KONA Card in a
Card Slots, PCIe Mac Pro shown here
Note:
After you install the KONA 3 card, you may notice that in the MacOSX Network
preferences there is a message stating “You have a new network port named KONA 3 —be
sure to check the settings...”. There is no need to take any action; this occurs because
MacOSX detects the RS-422 serial port on the KONA 3 card that you will use for VTR
machine control.
Installing the KONA Card in a Windows PC
1.
Place the PC in a well-lit convenient area, where you will have easy access to the chassis
access door.
2.
Touch the outside of the PC to discharge any static electricity in your body. Remove the
power cable from the back of the PC.
3.
Open the PC to gain access to the card slots as described in your Workstation User
Manual.
4.
Remove the KONA card from its protective anti-static bag; place the card on top of the
bag.
5.
To install the KONA card and RAID controller card (SCSI or Fibre Channel), refer to the AJA
website for the latest installation updates at the URL provided
.
Because of hardware and software changes, AJA engineers are constantly testing and grading
workstation performance. The AJA website is your best source of up-to-date approved
workstation configurations.
Note:
Always put the RAID controller and KONA on separate PCI busses. This improves
performance by reducing bus contention.

6.
Open the card retainer bar on the left side of the chassis cardcage. Remove the card edge
access cover from the desired slot where you will be inserting the KONA card.
7.
Holding the KONA card by the card edge plate and an outside edge, carefully insert the
KONA card by rocking it slowly into the slot. Ensure the card edge aligns properly with
the PC’s opening (where the card edge cover was just removed) and that it is fully seated
in the slot.
8.
Secure the card in the slot replacing the card retainer bar.
9.
Replace the PC’s panel/door removed in step 3.
